A guide to bridal accessories

So you’ve purchased your beautiful dress, and now it’s time to choose your bridal accessories. Bridal accessories are essential for your bridal look, helping to tie an outfit together, make a statement and bring out the beauty of your wedding dress, hair and makeup.

From statement pieces to subtle accents, many different types of wedding accessories can enhance your outfit and make you feel confident and beautiful on your special day.

Here are some of the most popular types of wedding accessories to consider:

Veils

Veils are a traditional wedding accessory that can add elegance and sophistication to any bridal look. They come in a variety of styles, lengths, and designs, including birdcage veils, cathedral veils, and fingertip veils. Veils can be simple, understated, or embellished with lace, crystals, or other decorative elements and are the perfect accessory to pass down through families.

Jewellery

Jewellery is another important wedding accessory that can add a touch of sparkle and sophistication to your bridal look. From statement necklaces to delicate earrings and bracelets, there are many different types of jewellery to choose from that can complement your wedding dress and brand new wedding ring. For busy wedding dresses, less is more. If you have a simple wedding dress, you can be a bit more bold with your jewellery. Also, consider your hair style and wedding dress neckline when choosing earrings and necklaces to ensure they suit your wedding dress look.

Hair accessories

Hair accessories are perfect for brides that don’t want to wear a veil. Popular bridal hair accessories include beaded headbands, hair clips, tiaras, and fascinators. Ask your hairstylist what accessories would look best with the hairstyle you’ll wear on your special day.

Clutches and bags

A clutch or bag is a practical accessory that can add style to your wedding day look. Choose classic white or something bold that will stand out against your dress. Just make sure your clutch or bag is large enough to hold all your essentials, including your phone, lipstick, and other small items.

Belts and sashes

Belts and sashes are a great way to add extra detail to your wedding dress. They can help define your waistline and accentuate your figure, and they come in various styles and designs. Choose something simple like a satin sash for a lace or beaded dress or something more glamorous like an embellished belt for a plain, classic wedding dress.

Jackets and wraps

Jackets and wraps are perfect for brides getting married in colder weather, and they are great accessories for wedding photos. Cozy fur wraps will keep your shoulders warm in winter, while a denim or leather jacket perfectly juxtaposes the romantic softness of a wedding dress.
